~The Coopers. The Stepfords of Riverdale. High school sweethearts who got married and had two beautiful daughters, Polly and Betty...
Until Jason Blossom happened.
And now, we would hear from the person who was closest to him those days leading up to his disappearance...
Polly Cooper.
How a casual conversation turned into an epic, forbidden romance. How, for reasons still murky, their respective parents tried to tear them apart. How their break-up was short-lived, because Polly soon learned she was pregnant with Jason's baby. How they became secretly engaged with his grandmother's blessing and her heirloom ring, and made plans to run away together, to start a new life.
And how their dreams of escape went up in flames.~
Another day, another drama fest. Today's topic, Polly the baby mama/unofficial widow. I sat next to Cheryl, braiding her red hair while listening to Betty tell Polly's latest problem.
"Polly's convinced herself that no one wants her baby." Betty tells us.
"Besides, of course, the child-snatching Blossom monsters." I roll my eyes at Kevin's comment. "No offense, Cheryl."
"None taken."
Jug then sums it up. "So your mom and dad want Polly but not the baby, and the Blossoms want the baby and not Polly."
I sigh, finishing Cheryl's braid. "God, that's like the most dramatic episode of Dr.Phil ever."
"It's an impossible situation." Betty says.
"Betty, come on." Veronica starts. "An impossible situation is being invited to both the Vanity Flair Oscar party and Elton John's Oscar party on the same night. Which happened to me one year, I know."
I give a dramatic gasp. "Oh god, how did you ever survive?" I joke.
Veronica sends me a playful glare and continue. "This is merely an annoying situation. But luckily, I've been percolating on an idea, hellishly simple in its conception. What if my mom and I were to host a baby shower?"
"Count me in." Cheryl says at once.
"You want Polly to feel loved and supported, right?"
"Yeah, but ideally by her own parents."
"Okay, so, baby steps, girl. Get Polly and your parents in the same room in a public setting where they can't fight, and, voila, let the healing begin. And, you cant get out of this, CJ. You're coming."
"Fine. At least I get free food." I smile.
"Am I expected to come to this thing?" Jug asks from his spot next to Betty.
"Of course! You're CJ's boyfriend, so..." Veronica takes a sip from her coffee and everyone goes quite. I look over and smile at Jug. "Oh, my God, you guys, relax. It's just a word that starts with the letter "B." "
